Ranking an issue alters its relative priority within its current column and swimlane.

To rank an issue:

  1. Access the Rapid Board using the top navigation bar, then select your Rapid View from the 'Rapid View dropdown' (see Using the Rapid Board).
  2. Rank an issue by dragging and dropping it to a higher or lower position within its current column (see screenshot 1 below).

(tick) You can also use Keyboard Shortcuts 's' + 'b' to move an issue to the bottom of its current column, or 's' + 't' to move it to the top.

(info) Please note:

  • You can only rank issues if ranking has been enabled — see Configuring a Rapid View.
  • If an issue has subtasks that are in the same column and swimlane as itself, the subtasks will be shown in a group below the issue.
    • When you rank an issue that has subtasks, all of the subtasks that are currently grouped with that issue will be automatically moved with it.
    • Sub-task issues can only be ranked in relation to their 'sibling' issues.
